Smart trainers

Trust me you want a wheel off trainer, the difference is night and day, back in the day when a wheel on trainer was $250 and a Wheel off was $1200 well that was a different story, but now that you can pick up a direct drive trainer for $375 (like the Elite posted above), it would just be a mistake to get a wheel on trainer.
And BTW that Elite sounds like a pretty good deal to me.
I would agree....it's a pretty good deal!
 
You have what, 10 El Mariachis? Store one on the trainer.

Wheel off. Wheel on is like riding a 26" bike with tubes in 2025. Rides smoother, doesn't destroy tires, takes up less space and never having to fight with tire pressures.
Whoa, whoa, whoa...I only have 3 El Mariachis, thank you very much! But yes, looks like I maybe going in the wheel off direction. BTW, I do ride a 26" bike with tubes in 2025...

Just know that going with the Cog locks you into Zwift. Right now their virtual shifting only works on their platform. You can still use the virtual shifting on Zwift without the Cog. You just need their shifters
Rouvy just added virtual shifting with Zwift hardware (click/play controllers). And TrainingPeaks Virtual does it via keyboard if you have your laptop in front of you. Also can do it though the QZ app (replaces zwift companion essentially) with other programs (https://www.qzfitness.com/).
 
I got an email from Jet Black saying the Victory is now available a couple of days ago. Two hours later I got an email saying all sold out. Must be the only bike related device in hot demand now!
